The six-time NBA All-Star launched his new chapter book series at the beginning of the month. The series is targeted toward middle grade readers and named after his nickname STAT. It’s based on his own life and how he overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today.

Stoudemire is committed to turning kids, especially boys, into readers and remarked, “I am excited to create my book series with Scholastic. They are the best in the business so I trust them with my stories. I decided to write for children because although I am an avid reader now, I wish I had read more as a child. I hope that together with Scholastic, we can creatively inspire a new generation to read.”

The impressive athlete also made an Guest Appearance on Good Morning America Monday to promote his new book that has the potential to change the future in the lives of many kids.
